Didn't realize it was so sensitive to that and don't know if they recommend against it on their site, but it put fine scratches all over the shield. That sucks so I thought I'd better pass on the info in hopes of preventing anyone else from doing it. I've used these scrubbers for years on my cars and never had an issue. Obviously certain kinds of plastics don't like it at all. Stupid move on my part. Just trying to get bugs off......

Just put a wet towel on your windshield wait a little while they will wipe right off.
I keep about 3-4 microfiber cloths in the saddlebags for cleaning the windshield or touching up the tupperware. Pretty inexpensive at Harbor Freight.
I just received my Clearview windshield; and the bolts/washer/castle nut are missing from the left side of the vent.

I just noticed tonight that mine is rubbing on the plastic dash and it's wearing the black coating off the bottom side of the windshield. I didn't think I'd be one to complain on a forum about a product, but now it's irritating after paying $250 plus for a plexiglass windshield. I haven't said anything to them as I figure it would be considered my fault. Oh well, live and learn yet again.....

Never put anything on my windshield except a wet towel for awhile. Bugs wipe right off with a micro cloth acquired at Sams Club or Harbor Freight . I live in Love bug country. National Bird the Mosquito...........DickieOriginally Posted by Redlinez

Redlinez... you posted that very issue previously in an earlier post about the Clearview Windshield that you installed... and I took it to heart. I installed two small strips of self adhesive Velcro (...the loop part - fuzzy) on the two forward facing edges where you had the issue.
So your post was not lost to anyone... you actually helped. Thanks for that.

Yep, soak a clean towel in hot water let set on shield about 20 min and them suicidal bugs wipe right off, same for paint & forks. First thing I do when I check into a motel on an road trip is ask for an extra towel just for my shield, but I don't tell them what I want it for.

Great idea! I'm normally solo anyhow & there is always an extra towel. I'll try that.Yep, soak a clean towel in hot water let set on shield about 20 min and them suicidal bugs wipe right off, same for paint & forks.

I bought some cool rags at Wingding last year that feal like paper & work great with warm water.
Something doesn't sound right? I've had mine for almost a year now. The bigger question would be why is your shield moving so much?
